UHF - A Return To Channel 62 - FILMING LOCATIONS

[@128_mega]

if anyone's wondering, the majority of the movie was filmed in tulsa, OK. I'm so proud to be from the same place a great movie was made at.

[@danieldb631]

And Al remembers every-single-address.

[@littleman8674469]

Same here!!!

[@paulocanecarlthedamnjohnson]

I only found that out when my mom moved to sapulpa

[@ronroper5797]

Thanks for putting this up. I was one of the extras in the Save Our Station scene. All the interiors of the station were filmed at the Kensington Galleria, not too far from the location of Spatula City. In my scene, I actually had about five seconds of screen time with Michael Richards. When he says the line "Can we do it?" and runs into the audience, he turns to his left and does some slap five, hand jive (which he worked out right before filming) with the person on the aisle. That person was me. That scene was shot in two days. For you blooper fans, if you notice the shot taken of the audience from the back, I'm wearing a vertical striped shirt, in the front view, I'm in plaid. BTW - Al Yankovich is a really nice guy.

[@dannorton4003]

+Ron Roper that pretty awesome...thanks for sharing :)

[@ronroper5797]

Argh! Didn't realize. I'll guess I'll have to burn my Demento D-shirt! Not with myself in it, like last time.

[@littleman8674469]

Was the location of the Spatula City building located in Tulsa also?

[@shaynewheeler9249]

😢😢😢

[@KronosTheDeejay]

This is one of the greatest things ever put on the internet. Thank you for understanding true nostalgia. Cheers!

[@80shorrorronniepierce67]

I like the way you merged the movie with your shots

[@darrinlward8469]

OMG, This is just awesome. 'We don't need no stinkin' badgers "'.

[@davemk0]

One of my fav films UHF great too see what these places look now

[@MrDrummerdood]

Great video! One of my favorite movies growing up!

[@JPilot2]

Adam, who just simply can not forget... Spatula City... Spatula City! From the 1989 classic comedy, "UHF Channel 62!" (totally humorous stuff!) For example: This weekend only, take advantage of our special liquidation sale. Buy nine spatulas, get the tenth one for just one penny. Don't forget, they make great Christmas presents. And what better way to say "I love you." than with the gift of a spatula? [Random Voice:] Spatula City... Spatula City!

[@warthog2022]

I remember watching them film back in high school. Lots of friends and family were extra's.

[@nationalist818]

in the bonus features of UHF, the commentary Al tells lots about the locations. buy the DVD its worth it just for the commentary,

[@djsemira1]

awesome, didn't think of it, have two copies of the dvd, but never checked :)

[@monkiboyjerry]

This was one of my all time favorite flicks. Thanks Adam !

[@cjdavis825]

the bartender is from an old show called The Grounglings, an inprov comedy show back in the early 90's to late 80's, I still have vhs tapes I recorded.

[@the_gilded_age_phoenix8717]

1989 was a good year...many good, fun movies came out during the Spring/Summer of '89. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," "Weekend at Bernies," "UHF, " etc. It's one of the years that "stuck out" during my childhood/teen years.

[@RamenWolf1485]

Adam.... You are now my favorite guy on KZbin. This is one of my top 5 favorite movies EVER. i LOVE Weird Al!!!!!!

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Dude..you are thorough to a scary degree but I love you for it.

[@SamuelStokesMusic]

Amazing. If I didn't have a wife and kids, I could totally see myself taking a sabbatical to do something stupid like this. I really appreciate you posting this. It was actually mesmerizing to visit these places from one of my favorite movies from childhood!

[@dator97]

it's so awsome that weird al tweeted you about you makeing this video!

[@pjcannaday6337]

Adam....just want to let you know you do great on these videos. UHF is a classic, I'm so glad you were able to put this together.

[@Tairygreen]

Thanks for this, man. I really like the movie and now I'm totally going to watch it again haha. Good job!

[@MrRageCollector]

I love this movie! It's one of my favorites. "Oh look! They're really mad now!"

[@DanielDez]

Wow thank you for this. How cool! UHF is my favorite all time movie.

[@Miyavisgirl1540]

UHF is me and my husband's favorite movie! Thank you SO MUCH for visiting the locations! ^^!

[@potatoking605]

Last week I went on a tour of the places UHF was filmed in guided by weird al himself... I got to go inside the house where the dog scene was filmed in...

[@potatoguy]

i dont know if i commented this or not... but last OCtober weird al came to Tulsa Oklaoma and i went to a Telethon dedicated to UHF and got to meet weird al at the telethon... it was absolutely amazng

[@cranke99]

Saw this in the theater when it came out. Sadly it wasn't a packed house. Mostly nerdy people like myself but we had a blast! One of only a few that can still put a smile on my face and make me reminisce. Thank you for taking us back to the movie locations. That was cool!

[@mxpxboy77]

Weird Al sent me here via Twitter. On a side note, I've seen a few of your videos in the past. Great work, Adam. UHF is one of my favorite movies of all time. Very under appreciated.

[@katiewinters7380]

This was well done! Thank you for making this video. I really enjoyed it.

[@ChanceyAnn]

Excellent job, Adam. One of my all time fav movies and a great job of cutting this video with scenes.

[@Stanley.77]

I saw this in Summer 1989 when it came out! I was 12. My friend Paul's mother took us to see this. I can't remember laughing for so long, and so deeply! Whoever said "laughter is the best medicine," was spot-on! Weird Al was a huge part of my childhood, and my Dad, who was born in the late 1930s (RIP) was also a huge fan! My Pops even liked Beavis & Butthead in the early 1990s! I'LL NEVER FORGET when my Pa told me that my mother found my "stash" (a fat doob, and what was left of a 1/4 oz. of decent 1990s bud, hidden in a Newport Box, AND hidden in the 8-track player on my record player... I thought I was going to catch the beating of my LIFE! Instead, to my utter shock, my dad told me of my mom's "discovery" (She was searching my room like a DEA agent!), and the kicker was this: During that era "High Times" magazine advertised a product called "Wizard Smoke," which was apparently, a non-psychoactive product that looked and apparently tasted similar to marijuana, but was 100% legal (I always assumed it was sold to shady people who could a) totally rip people off, selling it as bud OR b) Lace it with "sherm"/"dust"/PCP -As was *very common* in that era, but I digress... My pop, bless his soul, told me: "Your mother happened to find this in your room, but it's just that 'Wizard Smoke,' *RIGHT?!"* AS HE HANDED THE NEWPORT BOX BACK TO ME... *MINUS THE FAT JOINT!* I was so dumbstruck that I didn't even answer (I reckon he sensed my fear)... Anyhow, it was always my job to walk the dog at 9 or 10 pm... An oppertunity which I would take to smoke a doob and a menthol 🚬 ...However, on this particular night, my dad (who NEVER walked the dog), said: "Well, I'm going to take 'Bubba' for a walk now!" I was still speechless... Anyhow, he came back wreaking of "Old Spice" cologne (gee.. I wonder why?), and he returned after 30 or 40 minutes laughing is ass off, and he immediately turned on Beavis & Butthead, laughing histerically! And he had me bringing him pretzels liquorice sticks and other assorted "munchies." That night, I learned something; while my pops was generally a hardworking, sober man, who enjoyed a few Old Styles or Budwiesers with friends, or more commonly enjoyed a Jim Beam "on-the-rocks," though he was not a drunkard like me... I learned that my dad occasionally (but rarely) enjoyed a doob, here and there! I was so perplexed when he GAVE ME MY WEED BACK -minus a big fat joint (like I was going to "complain!" 😆) Man, I miss you, Dad... You were the best; strict AF, as a kid, but kinda "leaniant," TO A VERY SPECIFIC DEGREE, mind you (he would ABSOLUTELY NOT TOLERATE victimising *anyone,* aside from bullies). RIP, DAD!

[@nikriggs8773]

Love this movie and love it when you do filming locations. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@JesamyPorter]

Found it! Thank you for doing this video! I'm so sad the station is gone but its so fascinating to see that not much has changed.

[@retrospectre2658]

I gotta say: clicked on a whim, now I'm hooked. Surprisingly entertaining! Keep it up!

[@JoLiKMC]

This video makes me so happy! Fantastic! I loved this movie and seeing the prior filming locations is really pretty exciting for me.

[@AngelaBrightASMR]

Excellent! Thank you Woo Man! :) You make movie memories even MORE fun for me, as you visit the actual filming sight!

[@MrBigdavehd97]

Love going back to these ,thanks Adam

[@revengefrommars]

Dammit, now I have to watch UHF again! Badgers?

[@WeirdAl45231]

[@silverwindspirit]

Jonathan Maderos "ah maaaaaaaan!"

[@redlazlo]

Dude...this is AWESOME. UHF has been one of my favorite movies since I saw it in the theatre on opening day. I've always loved visiting movie locations (I do it quite frequently in L.A.), but I never thought I'd get to see the UHF locations. So cool.

[@66hellride]

I've been looking forward to this one. Dude,you did a fantastic job with this classic. Thank you buuuddy!

[@ltrich50]

Thanks for coming back to Tulsa, Adam. A little history on the bar...it was once known as Joey's, a local place where you could hear blues music, and after that it became the False Alarm, which was owned by a member of the Tulsa Fire Department for a time. Across the street, headed east is the Southern Hill Country Club, where a mob hit took place in 1981 by mobster Whitey Bulger, who was recently found guilty of 35 counts of murder including the one that happened there.

[@r0d3s]

You get to drink from THE FIRE HOSE! Another great film, another great filming location video!

[@QUIZFILTER]

Adam the Woo, you're amazing!! Thanks for all your time & effort... all your videos are awesome! !!

[@jimsoutdooradventures2748]

Thanks alot, now i have to watch this movie again,it was made the year i graduated highschool.I love slapstick comedy.Thanks for the film location,i love them all, even if i'm not a big fan of a movie i still like to see what things look like later in time.Awsome work!

[@doubleas2380]

This is badass man. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. One of my most favorite movies of all time. Subscribed.

[@LUKESDAD2010]

Another great filming location video, keep them coming!!

[@Brian_Buckley]

This is a PRIME example why I LOVE the ADAM THEWOO CHANNEL Holy Hell! BRAVO ADAM!!!! HUGE Weird Al Fan!!!!

[@MrDbeyer1]

My favorite part of the movie is when Kuni and two other karate guys jump out of the closet and yell out "SUPPLIES!!!".

[@willtaylor9091]

Wow, it's really neat to see these old locations. It's sad how channel 62 was torn down though.

[@garystinten9339]

Glitchex64 if channel 62 was a real location.. seems like 62 would have been a soundstage and the exterior might have been a painting.

[@MegaNuc]

awesome work, adam! love these videos. 80's baby time killer to the max.

[@GeneSavage]

I love that you were in my hometown of Tulsa; I hate that I didn't know you were here!!

[@MetalWalrus22]

This is awesome! I just saw him in concert yesterday!

[@TheAbsoluteZxero]

I agree the badger scene had me ROLLING! No idea what it was referencing at the time but I loved it

[@michaelsmith6313]

I quote this movie so often... it's a fantastic, funny classic.

[@Floatsfast]

The movie dropped at the same time as other blockbusters came out.

[@mayspondmogul]

I love UHF I have the poster framed on my wall and the bluray which I watch often. Spatula city still jk w my friend whom which I first saw it. And same Adam when Raul said the stinky badgers line we hit the floor laughing and rewinded it like 10 times!lol And the whole supplies scene was hilarious and throwing karate students out the window then says Stupid!lmao😂 Thanks Adam ur the man!!

[@johntracy72]

J the Batchelor Spatula City!!

[@effmidi]

A great video on such an underrated classic!

[@360MIX]

Superb, Adam... I hope you the best in all your videos!!.... Excellent work.. and like always thanks for your time...

[@JPilot2]

Adam, sorry for not replying sooner. But, you can be delighted, and wonderfully happy to know! In a way I am too, Returning To UHF Channel 62. With it's side splitting laughter, I got a dvd copy of "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF Movie!!! A terrific thanks to you, and cheers! :-)

[@uriah768ok]

Great post, although you never mentioned you were in Tulsa...unless I just missed it. As a native Okie, I am proud that UHF was filmed in our state! I just shared the link on Twitter as I have a lot of friends who, like me, are fans of this cult classic.

[@kelly2708]

this video puts you on my hero list!

[@kat8canary77]

You missed some fun, I got to meet Adam at the Channel 8 location at 66th and Lewis and ride along to the demolished bar, do you remember that strip mall being hit by a freak wind storm and then burning down? Then we went on to Spatula City at 63rd and Peoria. In the DVD commentary on UHF, Al tells the filming location addresses, it is awesome. Adam is so much fun AND I got to ride in the Woo van!

[@ir10031981]

2:56 I would guess that was where the Will Rogers Turnpike (I-44) used to be before it got realigned to connect with the Creek Turnpike.

[@nidaauto]

Excellent job as always Adam.

[@TBustah]

It's awesome that the burger place is still open. Mom and Pop burger joints are a dying breed.

[@ZiggyTheHamster]

It's a barbecue joint now though.

[@ZiggyTheHamster]

***** 6835 E 15th Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA. Just east of 15th/Sheridan.

[@JasonGuySmiley]

thanks for making this! i loved this movie when i was a kid!

[@joelambert8311]

Awesome video man. I was in downtown Tulsa at 114 W Archer (George’s apartment and Kuni’s dojo) recently... the building is all boarded up and abandoned now unfortunately. It would be so cool if someone could restore it and put it back in to use again. Maybe turn it into a martial arts school! Lol

[@yobeikoow]

Really enjoy your videos , specially of all the fun great movies I grew up with, PW's Big Adventure, Friday the 13th, etc...great job man! I subscribed a while back don't dont Hurt me, Hahaha...

[@marktubeie07]

Another GREAT job Adam, just love these location vids. I know it must take a lot of time in preparation... "I'm gonna club this seal to make a better deal !" - Gold!

[@MrAndrewco]

best video yet now i want to watch uhf again thanks

[@xennial80sxberner]

The UHF station got demolished in 2000 or 01, what sucks is it was JUST before the first DVD came out in 2002, so freaking close but still missed it. When was the bar burnt down? If it lasted into the late '00s it could still at least be seen on google street view

[@stephenwit1]

Never saw the movie but I enjoy your recreation of film locations.

[@potatoguy]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!! FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Saw it again this week. Still the best

[@drfalcon4102]

finally able to watch this,, back home from the wisconsin trip,,all caught up now

[@SuchAPrettyMess]

I love you and your interests, filming locations and urban exploration, couldn't get any cooler than that... I personally love anything involving 1980's culture, movies of that era with exquisite iconography are my absolute favorite... I would love to see the locations of two Melanie Griffith movies, Body Double/1984 [Los Angeles] and Something Wild/1986 [East Coast]. x -Mandii

[@KowboyUSA]

You're lucky you didn't run into Big Edna while you were taping.

[@sark76]

"Not too many people know this but" Raul was sadly killed by a drunk driver while driving right before this movie made it to the theaters. :(

[@neilgodfrey2669]

He was killed mid-filming, not just before it was released. His part was going to be bigger. Get your facts straight.

Good stuff. If you could remember to identify the city and state of the filming locations because I think most people's first question is: "Where is this, anyway?" It's sad that so many of these places are abandoned.

thank you for doing this one! and it looks like RJ Fletcher did turn channel 62 into a parking lot.

The thing that freaks me the most is Kevin McCarthy (RJ Fletcher) was 75 when he did this film. He looks like he's in his 50s.

[@Libertarianist2112]

I've always wanted to do this! I'm not far from Tulsa.

[@KevinJackson1986]

I remember watching that movie on one of his two sided dvds, It was funny clicking the more features icon, and watching Weird Al walk on cause the more you did that he would get irritated.
